All communications were highly professional, timely and it was a true pleasure to deal with the company. The finished windows are perfect, made to a very high standard and with clear explanation of costs and time involved. We are all delighted with the results and would definitely use Biglands Joinery again, and can highly recommend them to others." 18/02/2024

 1st Apr 2021 HelenM-1427 FIRE DOOR FITTING (PRIVATE HOUSE) Andrew did an excellent job for us making and fitting a fire door and frame between our utility room and integral garage, which was by no means straightforward owing to the quirkiness of the original building. Andrew has done work for us in the past (a front door for a previous house and also new worktops in our current kitchen) and on all three occasions has been a conscientious and tidy worker. We will certainly keep him in mind should we need any future work doing.
